Origin Of Names Corn Packing.

Names corn packing industry had its
initial idea from Isaac Winslow, Of Maine,
who lived in Paris, France, where he man
aged n whaling business. In fitting out
vessels for whaling voyages, he purchased
many articles OF meat pressed and dried
and all sorts OF food for the sailors. He
impaired information to his brother, Ma
than, Of Portland, Me-, and induced him
to experiment with canning green corn.
The latter did so, using the Canada yellow
corn for the first few seasons.
What is now one Of the most important
industries of Maine has grown from this
small beginning. From Mr.. Winslow's
little corn field, the sweet corn fields have
grown to 10000 acres, and instead OF the
sale Of few dozen cans, 1000 900 cans
and over are sold every year. THE sweet
coru>belt" of Maine produces a corn that
has a quick, crisp growth, aud a sweet
and milky freshness.-GoodH ousekeep

HON. E. B. WASHBURNE.
Eventful Career of n Prominent Man

man who is now in fast failing health,
was but few years ago among the most
noted men in the national one date
probably the most noted-and through all
his public career was an extremely useful
man, hard worker and ardent patriot.
He first attracted the attention Of the
press by the curious fact that he was the
most prominent Of three brothers in con-
gress at one timc-the Thirty-tifth and
Thirty-sixth congresses-the three being
somewhat alike in appearance, but Gu
riously dssimilar in their habits OF thought
and style Of speaking. OF the others,
Israel Washburn represented their native
district in Maine in five successive con-
crosses; while Cadwalader c. Washburn
represented Wisconsin district two

ELIHU B. wASHBURNE. the "Father of the
House," having served continuously
longer than any other member. 1t was
when Gen. Grant was "under fire." rs
the political phrase was, in the year fol-
lowing the battle of Shiloh, that Mr..
Washburne first became prominent in
congress, his steadfast defense of the
general, his neighbor in Galena, attract
ing national attention. In the three years
following the war he was popularity cred
tied with being "Grant's political mana
GER" and he drafted the bill reviving the
grade Of lieutenant general, which office
was conferred on Grant. He was again
elected to congress, but after Gen. Grant
became president one Of his first acts was
to name his old friend and constant sup
porter as minister to France. In that
position Mr.. Washburne won his greatest
honors. He remained in Paris during the
long siege, while nearly all the diplomats
fed, exerted himself heroically to defend
the helpless, and retrenched from his
ministerial state to assist the needy.
Many an American caught in Paris by
the sudden investment still speaks with
moistened eye Of the minister; and to the
Germans domiciled in the city he was an
unwavering protector. The popular hatred
against men Of German race was 80 in
tense that Mr.. Washburne's house became
a veritable sanctuary Of refuge to them;
and in the negotiations to mitigate the
horrors of war he proved Of vast advan-
tage to both parties. No American minis
ter there since Franklin has shed such
luster upon his country. He came home
after the Franco Prussian war the most
popular man in the country and prom
mate candidate for the presidential nom
ination. But he did not earnestly aspire
to the place, and after some minor public
services retired to private life. He will
long be noted in our history and admired
for sterling worth and unflinching devo-
ton to his friends and the good Of his
countrymen.
Mr. Washburn's condition was lately
regarded as very critical, but he is now
decidedly better. He recently published
a book of "reminiscences of his diplomatic
career.

1t should be a matter of sincere congra-

citizen that the partisan critics of President
Cleveland's administration find so little
Just ground for their complaints against 1t.
They can point to no violation of trust; to
no positive dereliction of duty, The presi-
dent has discharged his responsibilities
courageously and intelligently. The hon.
esty and disinter estedness of the man are
almost universally conceded. He has tried
to elevate the standard OF official integrity
and give the people clean and statesman
like administration of their governmental
affairs. How well he has succeeded In
these patriotic purposes Is shown by a
perusal of the Chicago Daily Meas of Oct.
2, which prints three pages of letters from
some of the most distinguished publicists
and representative business men of the
country, giving their views in regard to
the results of his first two years occupancy
